Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Summary
The CHARTER Act would amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to prohibit any charter school or charter management organization that hires a for‑profit company to operate, oversee, or manage the school from receiving federal education funds. It still permits contracts with for‑profit or nonprofit entities for limited services such as food, payroll, maintenance, transportation, textbooks, or other ancillary supplies. The measure seeks to keep public money from being used for private profit while ensuring essential support services can be purchased.
